Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) argued the coronavirus that hit New York state did not come from China but Europe, probably Italy he said. At his Friday coronavirus press briefing, Cuomo said President Trump's China travel ban was too late and the horse had long left the barn. "Researchers now find and they report in some newspapers, the virus was spreading wildly in Italy in February and there was an outbreak, massive outbreak in Italy in February," Cuomo said. "Researchers now say there were likely 28,000 cases in the United States in February, including 10,000 cases in the state of New York and the Coronavirus flu virus that came to New York, did not come from China. It came from Europe." "When you look at the number of flights that came from Europe to New York, the New York metropolitan area, New York and New Jersey during January, February, up to the close down, 13,000 flights bringing 2.2 million people," he said. "All right. So November, December you have the outbreak in China. Everybody knows." "We acted two months after the China outbreak," the governor said. "When you look back, does anyone think the virus was still in China waiting for us to act two months later? We all talk about the global economy and how fast people move and how mobile we are. Can you expect that when you act two months after the outbreak in China, the virus was only in China waiting for us to act? The horse had already left the barn by the time we moved." GOV. ANDREW CUOMO: Last November, December, we knew that China had a virus outbreak. You could read about it in the newspapers, right? Everybody knew. January 26, we know we had the first confirmed case in Seattle, Washington, and California.

How stupid!! It still came from China to Europe and then to NY. He says that the shut down in January was too late—and point to February as being the time when it spread in Italy.
The flights from China that would have come to the USA-went to Europe, so he should be thankful for that-he’d have more deaths and sooner if not for POTUS ban.
In addition, anyone dumb enough to force nursing homes to take covid patients that might still be shedding virus, should be arrested for negligent homicide. What a dumb prog.
And, this is the same moron sending virus patients to nursing homes and killing the elderly at them.
Details, details........
AUDIO: 13m02s: 26 Apr: 3AW: Luke Grant: “Effects of the lockdown are worse than the virus”: The real dangers of COVID-19 could still be ahead of us
Is it really better to be safe than sorry? A leading UK pathology professor warns us that the ramifications of a country going into lockdown could cause more damage than Coronavirus.
Professor John Lee is a writer for the UK Spectator, a retired professor of pathology and a former NHS consultant and he joined Luke Grant on Australia Overnight to give some perspective on the further reaching effects of COVID-19.
“The trouble with it is that they (government) have erred on the side of better ‘safe than sorry’… it’s a general principle of medicine, that when you’re giving a treatment to people, first do no harm.”
Professor Lee shines light on the fact that nations have overestimated the dangers of, and underestimated the danger of a population going into lockdown.
“The lockdown has side effects. From the economic side effects, from direct health side effects… people aren’t accessing health care, to health problems that were storing up for the future like people not coming in for their cancer screenings, not presenting themselves early enough when they have got chest pains for heart attacks.”
Professor Lee also touches on the murky origins of Coronavirus and if we may ever have a cure for the deadly disease.

Pissing on Italy, Cuomo?
Sounds like the 1971 movie: “The Hospital” w/George C. Scott and Diana Rigg.
Or “Coma”(1978) w/Geneviève Bujold, Richard Widmark, and introducing that at one time hunk, Tom Selleck.
Thanks for the post.
It seems to me we need internment camps for the traitors among us who protect our Chinese communist enemies!
Governor, your IQ is showing.
Thanks.
This asshole never takes responsibility for his own failures.
So Cuomo is earning his bribe pay from China again.
Just like the corona virus you deliberately sent to all the nursing homes in the NY area were sent by the tooth fairy?
Iran is in Europe! Who knew!
Why is Cuomo trying to rewrite history?
